First off make sure to turn off the water to the whole house. Then climb under the sink and disconnect everything and install new. The installer will need crimping tools, crimping lines, wrenches, pipe cutter, purple solvent, and plumbers tape.

Is it easy for someone to replace a kitchen faucet?
Since it is dealing with water lines that will be attached to the faucet I would call someone to come in and do it. You could potentially break a water valve and damage your floors and kitchen. Best of luck.
You just moved your kitchen to another part of your house Now the kitchen sink has no water pressure Why?
take your screen off the faucet. if this doesnt work, check your lines for breaks. good luck
Does kitchen sink need to be grounded?
It is already grounded through the faucet and water pipes. Even if the supply lines are PVC, it will still be grounded through the water.
How do you connect water lines to a kitchen faucet when the line coming out of the faucet is copper and the nut is stripped?
I have never seen a faucet that has a nut on the line coming out of it. Usually it is a male connection and the nut is on the supply line between the faucet and the house supply. Anyway, if the line coming out of the faucet is messed up, you could probably cut it and use a compression fitting to go between the faucet and the supply line to the house line.
How do you Replace kitchen faucet?
The end of the sprayer where the hose comes into it unscrews. The sprayer comes off and at the end of the hose there should be a metal C clip holding 2 washers on the end of the hose. Just remove the clip and washers and install the new one.
How do you replace a delta kitchen faucet?
This is a very old unit. Its most likely an o ring that is gone on that unit since it is a mixer. However you didnt take the cover off and explain what you saw, which might give you a clue as to what is leaking. However my advice is to do the job properly from the word go, dont try do maintenance on something that old. Excavate on the wall around the mixer, remove it and replace it with a new one and patch up the hole. If it sounds like too much work. Get a registered plumber, who will gladly do it for you.
When you turn on kitchen faucet makes noise like there is air in lines and water comes out slow why?
Check to see if your aerator screen is plugged at the end of the spout. Unscrew it and blow it out, screw it back on.
Why does the hot water work but the cold is slow from the kitchen faucet?
It is probably due to a blockage somewhere in the coldwater pipe or faucet. The easiest to check is the faucet. Turn off the water supply valves. Then take apart the faucet and look for tiny pieces of material (usually metal) that might block the flow of water thru the portholes. If there is no blockage, then the next probable cause is blockage in the pipe. This can occur in copper pipes anywhere there is a soldered joint. The blockage comes from using too much solder so it builds up in the pipe. It is most likely the faucet. Even if you don't see blockage it could be there. You can usually replace the faucet "guts" without too much expense and its worth a try, before working on the water pipes.
Why does your faucet have 4 water lines going to it?
The other water lines are going to other fixtures. Your lines must be comming out of the floor for you to see the other lines. They are all teed together and only one line comming up to your faucet.
How do you get to the water lines behind the shower faucet?
By opening the walls
Should you used pipe tape on kitchen sink water lines?
No. Regardless of what type of supply line you use between the house supply and the faucet it will be a compression fitting. Copper lines with a nut and ferrule or flexible ones are both compression and do not need tape or pipe dope.

How to Install a Kitchen FaucetWhether replacing a broken fixture or as part of a remodel, follow these steps to install your new kitchen faucet.The first step is to choose the faucet that matches your kitchen decor. Always read the manufacturer's instruction concerning how to make the necessary connections. Ensure that you have all the required parts and tools on hand. The faucet should come with a rubber gasket to seal the space between the countertop and the faucet. If not, use plumbers' putty. Place the faucet in its proper location. Secure the faucet in place with the large plastic nuts using a plumber's basin wrench. Do not over tighten plastic nuts.Now use the appropriate length flexible supply line that has a braided steel covering to connect the water supply lines to the faucet. Make the connection to the water line first. Flush the line so sediment and debris don't reach the faucet. The flexible line has a larger connection on one end that attaches to the faucet. The smaller, 3/8th in. fitting connects to the water supply line.The next step is to connect the sprayer. Use the supplied gasket or putty to create the seal between the decorative ring and the countertop. Secure the ring in place with the washer and plastic nut. Slide the sprayer through the ring and connect it to the faucet. Test your new faucet. Use a bucket to catch the water if a drain line is not installed.
